Fish catch, size of effort and cpue were investi9at~ in
Lake Burollos during 1974-1988 period.
Production function analysis was adopted for the period
of study on the basis of one year lag analysis.
Fisheries in Lake Burollos was found to be labour
Intensive. Regression analysis reveal~ that total number of
fishing boats is the important factor in increasing fish
catch from the lake. It is suggested to limit any further
II cense to fishermen and to expand a.’1d moderni 5e the
existing fishing boats, together with re-distributlng the
existing man power, and substituting four to five fishermen
for each new boat. The new boats are suggest~ to be small
units of second or third degrees of inland firheries type.
